I am almost positive this is a hardware specific driver problem. I installed stock ubuntu 7.04 on a Dell Latitude D600 with a "ATI Technologies Inc Radeon R250 [Mobility FireGL 9000]" graphics card and a 1400x1050 screen. The configured driver was "ati", I am currently using "radeon"
I configured 6 workspaces arranges 3x2. Bringing up a number of gnome terminals, firefox and thunderbird in different workspaces. I put content in each of the apps (otherwise you can miss the error). I then switched rapidly between the workspaces.Doing this would often cause the problem within a minute, though on occasion it would take longer. Sometimes I would trigger the failure by scrolling the gnome terminal. It is interesting to note the in vi in a gnome terminal, using ^L to refresh the display would sometimes but not all times correct the repaint issue. Normal use usually took longer to show the problems. Per my earlier report - once I disabled the dri extension - I have not seen the problem since. -- visual bug in gnome terminal https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/128329 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
